wow. Yous guys are brutal Yes, we need larger pics. BTW, Japanese use characters that evolved from Chinese ones, so the bike could be Japanese. If it really is from the 30's, it could be Chinese, or Japanese. I'll take Cap'n Blight's bet though and say it isn't American made. If you have some pictures of the lettering and script I can have my wife translate them when she gets home.

DID YOU TAKE A PICTURE OF THE HEAD BADGE?
